A friend is upgrading his brothers gpu.He replaced an old 8600 with an less old HD3850, after plugging the card in and booting the fans start spinning but the screen stays black, when he boots up the screen on the motherboard it does start up and gets into windows so it isnt any other component that causing the problem. He is using a dvi to vga adapter to hook up the gpu to the screen. Is the card just dead or is there anything else that could be causing the screen to not dipsplay anything?
Pcie is plugged into the gpu and it is inserted correctly
The computer is running on win 8
Here are the pictuers of the ports on the gpu and the adaptor:
